About Me

I am a screen printer by trade and have printed on T-shirts / paper
metals and vinyls, I think i have always loved playing with colours and creating.
I started scrapbooking in November 2006
My favourite layouts are heritage/distressed type layouts, I love to capture the mood and fell for all things old but loved. Scrapbooking started out as a way to preserve my families history and grew into something much more.
I now do altered art and mixed media . I love the social side,going to crops
and camps i get to meet and make friends that i would never have meet otherwise,

Move over Tim the tool man lol i have got some heavy duty altering tools now !!!

Went to the hardware store today and brought the items above. Things you will need

are

Good sharp knife like a box cutter/Stanly knife

Adhesives like glue sticks/double sided tape or a good paper glue

attachments like eyelets/staples/safety pins etc

inks/paints/pencils for colouring pages etc

clamps to hold pages together well they dry

something to seal pages with, i used a antique sealer last time and a spray sealer

for decorating use things like stamps/stencils/masks/stickers/different types of papers/ beads/tags/ribbon/lace/fabric/ Anything that takes your fancy really, just remember don't wont then overly chunky,if you do have something you wont to add that's chunky you can cut out a nish for it.

You can also drill holes in blocks of pages and screw them together, which i am going to try on my practice book first lol

And of course a book,you wont one with a hard cover

I have put up a few pictures to get you started. I will start a weekly post with information, as i do mine and take pictures, I will start this on Monday the 19th jan as i am away for a couple of days before i go back to work.If you decide to join me in my adventure i would really appreciate seeing what your doing and any tips you can pass on ,and if you have any questions hopefully i can help you with the answer. Im really looking forward to playing with that drill lol
